SUPPORT SEASON III
Make a Gift. Make a Difference.
After an unforgettable Season 2 — sold-out performances, standing ovations, and two world premieres — we return in 2026 with our most ambitious season yet: bold new choreography, diverse perspectives, and collaborations with exceptional artists from top companies across the country.
Pointeworks thrives because of people who believe in ballet beyond the stage. Ticket sales cover less than half of our costs. For Season 3, we must raise $90,000 from individuals to make the vision a reality.

Want to Give a Seat?
Last season, because of donors like you, Pointeworks placed over $11,000 worth of tickets into the hands of students, veterans, first responders, and first-time audience members. At our Irvine performance alone, 167 seats were gifted, including to military families. We saw young dancers experience their first live ballet. Veterans brought their children to the theatre—some for the first time. Moments of healing, inspiration, and belonging filled the audience.
Now, as we prepare for Season 3 — Nocturnes at The Conrad (June 2026), we're inviting you to help us make that impact even greater.
Your support is vital to ensuring the continued vitality and innovation of Pointeworks. We deeply appreciate your contribution towards our second season, and we thank you for being a valued supporter of the arts.
